Content creator Dazs posted an EA Game Changers video to YouTube on January 28, explaining how to how to best handle the 30-30 repeater, and the Anvil Receiver option then appeared at the bottom right corner of the HUD.
This instantly caught the attention of many fans in the Apex community, and now there’s a ton of excitement about the Hop-Up item returning, One fan said: “It is decided, I’m gonna use Flatline the whole of next season.”
This Hop-Up will decrease the rate of fire, use two ammo per shot in single fire mode, and give a massive boost to semi-auto damage. You could previously attach it to the R-301 and Flatline, so it’s likely that won’t change when Respawn bring it back.
Shrugtal also posted a tweet in which they displayed images of the Anvil Receiver taken from the 30-30 preview video.
The Anvil Receiver was a popular item before its removal from the battle royale. This makes it understandable why quite a few fans are excited for its return, with some wondering what else will be coming back.
One fan even commented: “Imagine if they brought back disruptor rounds.” With Apex Legends Season 8 on the horizon, we can expect many more surprises soon. We’ll be sure to update you once we hear more.
